[Verse 1] I've been dreaming of an alternate reality Free of colonizers severing our history With a connection to land and Earth identity Never feel like where I belong is a mystery Not a ragtag plastic personality Built upon everything we grew up on TV Isolated in the suburbs from community The power's unprecedented in unity [Chorus] And oh I know someday we won't beg and plea For us to be set free From this society [Verse 2] There's another reality Where the world ain't hurting and niggas like me Ain't just surviving, We vibing, living life, and children ain't crying (damn) Or dying from a broken nation Families torn apart, incarceration Trade a hoodie for hipsters, straight gentrification And assimilate into a world, alienation Even with the evil empire reigning Plus every single system working against us We still trendsetters, go-getters With nothing we make a world better Could you imagine if we never got robbed? (God damn!) If our land and our labor wasn't stolen by the bourgeois (Zee!) If we weren't targeted by the law But we coming out on top whether you like it or naw Dystopia is where the system thrives Built of violent screams (violent screams!) But the people gonna wake up and break up Because it's not a dream (not a dream!) We're gonna eat the rich, we're gonna feed the kids When there's nothing left to eat (left to eat!) And y'all been warned about your greed Exploiting for your salaries [Chorus] And oh I know someday we won't beg and plea For us to be set free From this society [Outro] Yuh, yuh, New Tone 2021 baby! Yes sir, yes sir! Fuck colonizers Fuck the empire Hell yeah nigga Free Palestine Abolish the police Abolish the prisons Abolish the lies that this country is free We can not be free if we exist on stolen land We can not be free if we rely on stolen labor We can not be free if we refuse to let the exploited Global south be free of the capitalist's exploitation The system that is in place for the ruling class Has a lasting effect on all of us Racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia A liberation of that system Will be a liberation for the people But before we decolonize this world We must first decolonize our minds Programed our entire life by the empire We must kill the cops in our head For we can not build a brighter future If we can not envision a brighter future We must vision a world Were the people are taken care of Where the people have the power And when the people look out for each other We must create that vision within ourselves Within our relationships And within our community So tell me, can you dig it?
